As the initial dust settles over the “indefinite” suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show over comments he made about MAGA fans' reaction of the shooting of far-right extremist Charlie Kirk, the onus now falls on Disney/ABC for the next move.According to a report from NBC News, the exe...

    Fuck Disney. I have sucked the mouse’s cock since they took over Marvel. No more. I am even canceling my comic books subs and I have collected Fantastic Four for over 50 years. No more.

      This impresses the hell out of me. I don’t collect but I’ve known many collectors, and I know what a decision like this represents.

        Its not that impressive. Marvel comics have been dog shit for a while now. Its like saying Im not gonna watch Happy Days anymore, but youve on season 11, and it was season 5 that Fonzi jumped the shark.

      Before this I was thinking of getting back into Spider-Man comics like I had as a kid.

      Not touching that with a 50 ft pole now.

        The last time we had a good (Peter Parker) Spider-Man run was in the 1990’s. There’s been some decent Miles stuff here and there but mostly Marvel is not good. Read BOOM!, Dark Horse, Image…

          This is a tangent, but I am so burnt out on Magic between the Universes Beyond and the new set every other week. I need to get back into just Cubing and not care about the plethora of cards from different IPs coming out, but I don’t know, just knowing about it all has kind of killed my passion for the game.

            May I suggest: just do the fun parts. Print your own cards. Ignore sets that don’t interest you. Stop giving Hasbro money for no reason.

            I think the schedules going to cause burnout sooner rather than later.

            In the group of people I play with, no one’s really buying anymore- a lot of times even for the ips they like.

            Even the guys who pride themselves in having non-proxy cedh decks have given up- by the time you’ve got the new cards in 2 weeks later, chances are theres another replacement. Mow theyre playing woth proxies for the cards in their flex slots, and only buying 3-4 times a year when they make a trip to go to a tourney.

      That’s a good point I didn’t even think of. They fucking OWN comics now. We need more independent comics that are as popular.

          It at least makes me very happy how plausible it is for a completely independent artist to make games on Steam or Itch that are universally enjoyed. Sadly there is a current trend of “NSFW” games getting banned on those platforms…

          I wanted to plug one game that had been particularly victimized. It was an “unreliable narrator” game where you played as a stalker obsessively trying to find the real name of his favorite pornstar. It was uncomfortable, artistic, thought-provoking, and immediately tripped the ban filters. I thought I bookmarked it but if someone else knows it a reminder would be awesome.
